Edited December 9, 200817 yr by Toups

Well I;'m hoping for a 2.1 for OLTL and 3.8 for Y&R.

Could care less about any of the others!

Kinda hope Days drops like a stone, as I hate Higley, Corday, ect- and I don't even watch the show.

NBC does not deserve to be rewarded by good ratings. period.

For the fans, I hope Days will live on on another network.

It'll be interesting to see if the "PimpTamaraBraun/Reesehour" goes up

I'm guessing it won't.

This doesn't even make sense. She's only on maybe every other day, and I don't really see how they are pimping Tamara or Reese. If anything, this is the Ryannie/Rylee hour right now, but Annie/MCE makes that so fun and tolerable.

Seriously though, how can you even say that when Zach and Kendall have been showing their mugs everyday, and getting pimped for years now?

I'm hoping for the best when it comes to GL. lol

As for OLTL, a 2.2 would be nice.

Since last week was a short week for OLTL I wouldn't be surprised to see another drop. This week started out great, but the only thing that saved these last two days for me were Dorian . . . and words I never thought would come out of my mouth . . . Tess/Jess/Bess. Go figure!

Andy I agree with every word you said. I esp. agree that Annie is making this enjoyable. Another element that is making it enjoyable for me is Debbi Morgan and Vincent Irizarry. I don't mean this in a sexual or couple sense but those too have so much chemistry working off each other. They just bring their scenes alive - even the briefest ones. I love when actors can do that and I don't want them paired as a couple - just good old adversaries. Hell thank God for Pratt that I don't even mind that they are pulling the old trend of just showing Kendall almost everyday again during her coma like they did when McT was there. With Pratt aboard I am enjoying them more than I have in a long time so even that doesn't bother me.

For me no one seems to be dominating AMC right now and I love that. Even though Annie and Ryan are on a lot I don't mind at as I once did because they are not the whole hour.

And Rhino I agree about OLTL. I hope that neither it nor AMC go down but I look for them too. A lot of people find these character interactions to be boring - they want the action. But this is the heart of soaps and I for one love it. And Dorian has been great until Friday's episode and it was just one of those times when I couldn't love to hate Dorian. I just wanted someone to slap the s**t out of her.

Who thinks that? i know the networks feel people think that but it's my honest belief verr very few soap fans feel such scenes are boring.

Oh Eric I feel there are some but after years of reading on various message boards about how boring this type of stuff is I am a firm believer that many of today's soap fans do find it boring.

They use words as filler on these type of scenes too. To them they are just filler until the action picks up or some major event happens in the story. Sorry I don't see them as filler - those are the scenes where we really get to know the characters and how can that be filler.

I have seen on 2 message boards in the last few days that people found AMC and OLTL to be very boring on both Thursday and Friday - they said too much talking. And I loved both days of both shows.

Oh, Kiera Knightley, who ARE these people? Any time Kate Hall or Joanna Cohen have an opportunity to pen a script for AMC, I am overjoyed, thrilled, over-the-moon, because I know I will get the layers of character I crave from my soap. Sure I appreciate the events and plot movement, but then I need the character reactions; the ripple effect, if you will. This is what soaps are about people; it's not so much the action, as the reaction. Isn't this a Marland rule or someone's axiom or something? ;-)

All 3 of the ABC Soaps are awesome right now with their writing in November. The only problem for ABC is keeping that audience around during the non-sweep months and that comes with better writing. AMC, OLTL, and GH can keep those numbers or grow them with strong writing.

CBS' combo of Y&R and B&B are really good also right now. Its ATWT and GL, which are boring right now.

DOOL is consistent and has been watchable since late October.

AMC, OLTL, and GH all gained about 30-40,000 18-49 females a piece.

So I guess the ratings will be flat from last week. Better than a loss for OLTL I guess.

AMC gained .1 in their 18-49.

Y&R will be flat as well looking at these.

Those are for November sweeps, not for the week of the 24th.
